gratitude

Really, I am thankful for so many wonderful things. Obviously, the obvious. Health, family, home, safety, friends. A few others, I wanted to share. Clasic Elite's yarn, charmed (oh, does it feel good in my hands) :: the (new to me)new site for cookies to help me with our cookie of the week (it turned out more like cake, but was delicious) :: the movie sweet november (one of my favorite movies, keep the tissues near.)

Our thankful tree, filled with old thanks. ( I save the leaves every year. We have five years of leaves.)

Making leaves of new thanks.

Thank you for all your blogs, and the inspiration you give to me. And, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy lives to stop by my little space. It really means a lot.

thank you for your wonderful blog in which you open your heart and home to us! your tree is great...a great way to keep memories and remind yourselves that the day is about more than the bird and day after sales!

Your blog is one thing I am grateful that I discovered this year. It makes me happy and I always feel good after reading it. Thank you for spending your time writing. So many of us enjoy you! Happy holidays to you and your family.

What an amazing idea. I think we might be making that a tradition. We have not had a chance to start our own in the almost 4 years we have been together because we were always with his family trying to get in as much time as possible with his mother before her cancer took her.

Thank YOU Leslie for such a lovely blog. I think you have the nicest family traditions which I just know must give your children such a strong sense of security and love.Blogging has given me such a wonderful insight into all our different customs and for that I am thankful!

Hi Leslie, it's the frist time I write you, but I have been reading your blog for some time and I like it a lot. It's full of inspiration and peace. I am Italian, I live in Milan and I am also a knitter since I was a child (but I am by no means as productive as you!). I recently started a blog: www.paroledilana.blogspot.com"parole di lana" is the Italian for "woolen words". No Thanksgiving here today, but I wish you and all Americans a great holiday!

I absolutely love the idea of a Thankful Tree. I would also hang a leaf for each of the wonderful blogs I read that keep me inspired and entertained (your's included, of course). Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Happy thanks giving!Being a Brit we don't really do Thanks Giving here but I love the sentiment and I love your tree!That's such a lovely idea, I will have to try and incorporate it into our household some how!Thank you for sharing with us, your blog reflects such a lovely family life it's inspiring.x

i absolutely love your grateful tree. it's fantastic! what a clever idea. personally i think people should have one up all the time and each night write something down - just so we can all remember that life is good!cheerslx

Hi, I just discovered you through the Yarnhog, and I have really enjoyed reading all your old posts. You are sooo creative, wish you lived next door. We started our tree this thanksgiving. I always do some dorky activity that my teens roll their eyes at, but I make them do it. I love the tree because it is pretty to look at. We tied the leaves on with lovely yarn scraps. I look forward to reading you regularly.
